Summer is the perfect time for making memories with friends. Laughing and creating new adventures together can be one of the most rewarding experiences for both yourself and your friends. If you’re looking for some fun ideas, here are things to consider doing this summer: 

Plan a camping trip

Summer is the perfect time to create memories with friends that will last a lifetime. There’s nothing quite as enjoyable as planning a camping trip! From picking out the ideal scenic spot, deciding on which activities to do outdoors, and cooking up delicious campfire meals, each task provides an opportunity for lasting fun. 

Pitching tents and snuggling into cozy sleeping bags under the stars should never be taken for granted – it’s an unforgettable experience! Whether you have days or just one night to spend in nature, your friends are sure to always look back fondly on such an adventure together.

Have a friendly competition of golf

There is no better way to enjoy the summer with friends than by having a friendly competition of virtual golf on a virtual golf simulator. While getting together outdoors may be more difficult this year, virtual golf is the perfect way to keep social distance while still enjoying each other’s company. As virtual golf simulators have become increasingly sophisticated, you don’t even need to go out of your own home in order to take part! 

You can rent or buy a virtual golf simulator for your own virtual course at home and have a great time competing with friends over complicated courses. Trying to outdo one another with amazing shots and daring plays is sure to bring tons of energy and fun into your summer days!

Take an outdoor yoga class

What better way to start summer than with some outdoor yoga with friends? Taking an outdoor yoga class is a fun and rewarding activity that you can do in beautiful weather. You may even get the chance to enjoy some stunning sunsets or sunrises by doing your practice outside! 

We all know how important it is to take care of our physical health, and this can be a great way to do it while having a blast with friends. You don’t even have to go far – there are likely plenty of parks or other open spaces in your local community. Plus, if any of you are new to yoga, the class is sure to be educational as well as satisfying. Why not make this summer unforgettable with some outdoor yoga?

Find a drive-in movie theater

Gather up your friends, pop a bag of popcorn, open the car windows, and immerse yourself in a classic drive-in movie experience. There are still countless classic drive-in theaters throughout the country that offer a fantastic selection of new releases as well as treasured classics that can only be experienced outdoors under a blanket of stars. 

Nothing beats gathering around a huge outdoor screen with your closest friends while freezing some delicious treat or sipping on something chilled. If you’re feeling extra adventurous, set up your car so you can watch the movie outside with chairs and blankets laid out for optimal enjoyment. This could be one of the best summer night experiences ever!

Grab coffee or lunch at a local café

Summer is the perfect time to get together with friends and explore your local area! A great way to do this is by grabbing coffee or lunch at a nearby café. Not only is it one of the most inexpensive ways to have an enjoyable time with friends, but you’ll also likely find something special on the menu that may become an instant favorite. 

It’s also a great opportunity to support local business owners and experience diverse cultural favorites that perhaps you haven’t tried before. Get together with your closest friends and venture out to your local café – you’re bound to find something delicious!

Attend a virtual concert or music festival

One of the most fun things that you can do with your friends this summer is to attend a virtual concert or music festival. Virtually attending an event like a concert or music festival has its advantages–you don’t have to worry about the sometimes long and arduous journeys to get to the actual venue, you are spared from dealing with unpredictable weather or prohibitively expensive ticket prices, and for many people, comfort and convenience of remaining at home definitely top out being in any physical queue under the scorching sun. 

Listening to great tunes from your own couch with your best friends as company — now that’s what we call a perfect night out! You can even host your own mini-music festivals by inviting some friends over for an evening of music discovery and good old-fashioned party time.

No matter what activities you pursue with your friends this summer, don’t forget to take lots of photos to treasure these moments!
